  Let's Talk about White Privilege workshop
Event Date:

Location: 
Bill and Denise Andrew Hall
Room: 
142
Colleen MacQuarrie and Sobia Ali-Faisal from the Department of Psychology will be facilitating a workshop on white privilege in the academy. They will be applying liberation psychological theory to:
	- examine white privilege and white supremacy in the academy
	- provide space for attendees to explore and navigate their emotions and thoughts around their own privilege, and 
	- provide time to practice strategies to challenge their white privilege.
	We are holding this workshop to support UPEI's efforts at honouring the TRC recommendations and creating a safe environment for everyone. (Side note: We will also be holding a workshop for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities on campus on March 4th. Please keep an eye out for a notice regarding that very soon.)
	When: February 4th, 1 - 3pm
	Where: Andrew Hall, Room 142
	For: Faculty, staff, and students
	It is a free workshop and refreshments will be provided.
	Please feel free to email Sobia (sali@upei.ca) or Colleen (cmaquarrie@upei.ca) if you have any questions. 
	We would like to thank the Department of Psychology, Office of the Dean of Arts, and Office of Vice-President Academic and Research for their support of the workshop.
